Don’t worry, fellow geeks. Just because the big bad Sunpak Platinum Plus 7500 Pro Tripod could beat us up doesn’t mean it’s actually going to.

Naw, despite its muscular build, this gentle giant’s more interested in holding your camera steady than breaking your glasses. Up to 11 pounds of camera, to be exact. You say “Camcorder” or “Digital SLR”? The Sunpak 7500 says “Bring it.” And it holds that camera high, too – somewhere north of six feet high. We’ll see just how much privacy your neighbor’s privacy fence offers, eh?

But the Sunpak 7500 also has a sensitive side. A side that appreciates fresh flowers, long walks in the woods, and the poetry of Edna St. Vincent Millay. A side that offers the kind of three-way ultra-smooth panning that will touch you right where you yearn to be touched. The Sunpak 7500 is a painter stuck in the body of a plasterer, a Werner Herzog trapped in the body of an Uwe Boll, a kitten hiding inside the body of a much meaner kitten. It’s bursting with muscles, but it’ll never flex them in anger. Unless, of course, you make fun of its asymmetrical legs.
